Chapter 98 Military, Government and Financial Power
Many things in the world cannot develop according to the established trajectory. Human desires are endless, and everyone is doing things that are getting more and more greedy.
At the instigation of Lu Qiaoshan, Nicholas soon came to Wu Siren again.
"Moran, during my investigation and walking, I found that many clan forces had a great influence, which would have a great hindrance to the construction of water conservancy facilities and the reform of education. So I want to call some local security groups to maintain order so as to..."
When Wu Siren heard this, he interrupted Master Chang with a smile and explained: "Brother Jianfeng, the local security team in Yuzhou is now empty and will be removed soon. Some of the personnel have been transferred to the reserve service by me, and the other part has been included in the police department. If the brother commits illegal acts at work, he can ask the police department for assistance."
"The security team is going to be cut off, why?"
Mr. Chang was completely stunned. The plan he had discussed with Lu Qiaoshan before was to rely on the security team and gradually erode the tax police team.
"The finances do not allow it! I don't want to collect heavy taxes like other places, so I can only implement the military and simplify government affairs in Yuzhou. To be honest, since the Tax Police General Group went to Yuzhou, the central government has never distributed materials or military pay. Relying on the tax revenue of Yuzhou under the war is like a drop in the bucket. Now, most of the expenses of the Tax Police General Group are borrowed from my father. Although I will inherit the Wu family's family business, whether our family has gold and silver is now a bit overpaid. I have been discussing with Webmaster Xu these two days to see if there are any ways to increase revenue and reduce expenditure."
Wu Saren poured out a lot of troubles, and put a lot of difficulties in a spectacular way.
"Commander Wu, do you think this is OK? Our eldest son will pay for the re-establishment of the local security team by himself. You don't have to spend a penny, but the re-established security team must be directed and managed by the eldest son." Lu Qiaoshan, who was standing next to him, suggested.
"There is no problem at all, but I can make three rules. You should not force the men to form a security team. You should adopt the principle of voluntary action. The bandits in Yuzhou have just been wiped out by me. I don't want you to do anything too much to give the bandits a chance to rekindle. Also, taxes are not allowed to be collected in disguise. The taxation is not under your jurisdiction. Don't blame me for being petty. Taxes involve military expenses of the Tax Police Corps. Finally, I would like to emphasize one more thing, you can second the training officers to other defense zones, but my Tax Police Corps is not good. They should go to the front line to fight the Japanese at any time."
Wu Siren clearly showed his attitude, and let the rest be left to Mr. Chang to make trouble. It is better to be relieved than to stop him. Since Nicholas Chang wanted to form his own armed forces, Wu Siren didn't mind going with the flow, as long as he didn't have the idea of his own tax police corps.
"No problem, we are completely obeying Commander Wu's arrangements."
Lu Qiaoshan answered first, for fear that Wu Saren would change his mind.
It is said that the knowledge on paper is shallow, and one must practice it. Perhaps it is because Mr. Chang has been stolen for more than ten years, or perhaps he really wants to make some achievements as soon as possible for his noble father to see. In short, after getting the exact news from Wu Siren, the local security team was put on the airs in less than two days.
Nicholas often used his identity as a prince to recruit many young generals from various war zones who graduated from Huangpu, but when he wanted to recruit soldiers from local security regiments, he encountered great difficulties.
Yuzhou is a province with a large population, so it is naturally not short of young and strong. It is said that he will serve as a soldier and eat food, but the local security team of Mr. Chang’s local security team is difficult to recruit qualified soldiers.
As the saying goes, a cannon fired, and the eldest son of Chang had limited financial resources. He only got more than 2,000 rifles through various relationships. He was too short to give enough military pay, and he was unable to force the men in Yuzhou, and almost let the first armed force he formed in his life die.
"It's all my fault for Wu Siren. Why did he do so high his military salary? And the troublemakers like Yuzhou cannot make more contributions to the country. What is the future of guarding one acre of three-point land?"
Lu Qiaoshan began to give Wu Saren eye medicine. In his eyes, the Tax Police Corps was an alien. The troops in the National Government did not receive empty salary. However, the Tax Police Corps not only paid no deductions for military expenses, but also exceeded 50% more than other troops.
"Don't talk nonsense. Mo Ran did a very good job in Yuzhou. Although it is not as good as political and harmonious, at least the common people can eat a bite of food, and the landlords' squeeze on the local area has also been greatly reduced."
Nicholas often admired Wu Siren very much. He was able to be able to help the world with martial arts and write a pen to determine the world. No wonder his father highly praised this clan brother.
Master Chang thought about this, but he did not see Lu Qiaoshan's cruel gaze flashing.
"Young Master, don't you find it strange? Many of the policies of Yuzhou are very similar to those of Yanzhou. Commander Wu's political stance is very worrying." Lu Qiaoshan said with some reference.
"Lu Qiaoshan, I know what you want to say, but I warn you, put away those little thoughts. We are not going to make trouble in Yuzhou. If you make Wu Siren angry, not to mention your Director Dai, even my father can't save you. I have lived in the Red Polar Bear for more than ten years, and I know the Bolsheviks better than you. Wu Siren's policies in Yuzhou are imitated in Yanzhou, but more of them are actually borrowing from Roosevelt's new policy. If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense. With Wu Siren's current status and wealth, Yanzhou wants to recruit him, but where is his position?"
Through this period of working together, Master Chang also discovered that Lu Qiaoshan had no view of the overall situation, and only knew some sinister and deceitful tricks. To put it bluntly, Lu Qiaoshan was a villain who was good at scheming people's hearts, flattering and flattering. In the past, Nicholas would never use subordinates like Lu Qiaoshan, but now he has no one to use. If he wants to open up the situation in Yuzhou, he can only let Lu Qiaoshan try it. At least Lu Qiaoshan is still a little clever.
"What the eldest son taught me is that I am a humble position. But now where we recruit soldiers, we still need to think of a solution as soon as possible. Time is too late!"
Lu Qiaoshan knew that he was a little too anxious. Wu Siren is now in a huge power and is not something he can test, so he immediately started to change the topic.
"Yes! The military problem needs to be solved urgently, and there is also military pay. Otherwise, people will not be able to support them if they are recruited. We need a stable source of income, but taxes are not in our hands, which is difficult!"
Mr. Chang patted his head and had a headache, but he did not resent Wu Siren in his heart for not helping him, because the current situation in Yuzhou is so stable, Wu Siren can be said to have made great contributions, and Wu Siren did not use any exploitation methods, so Mr. Chang also sighed that he was not as good as that.
"Xu Zhongyi, the stationmaster of Yuzhou Station, is very good at management. He is a good at the Logistics Department of the Military Commission. Although he is not good at arresting important criminals, he handles the upper and lower levels very carefully. Otherwise, we will try it out with him?"
Deep down in his heart, Lu Qiaoshan didn't want any connection between Mr. Chang and Xu Zhongyi, as this would make his own favor less, but he knew very well that making money was not his own expertise. In order to open up the situation as soon as possible, he could only hold back his unhappiness and recommend it to Nicholas Chang.
"I really didn't realize that Webmaster Xu actually has such great ability. If you go find him, we need to negotiate a solution as soon as possible."
